Current pictures of the truck from this summer!
Before and after
Alright guys Ive been on the forums for a few months and i thought i might as well put some pictures of what I'm working on. Purchased this 90 2wd b2200 truck off a friend of mine who had purchased it from his grandfather who owned the vehicle since new. My friend cleaned up all the rust with por15 and gave it a quick spray can paint job but he didn't repair dents. This will be the first vehicle i put on air. Right now all of my parts are in transit but i have my truck stored 2 blocks away at a 2 car heated garage that is my short term shop because my garage at home isn't heated and its been minus 40 C* this winter with the wind chill. I only have about another month and a half until the truck will be moved home so i cant start really cutting it up yet. Right now I'm just working some minor things. Wish i had a better camera for some nicer pictures but id rather spend the money on parts!
Please Comment and Thanks for looking!
The day i drove it home
300,000 km and running strong
interior after a quick cleaning
cracked valve cover that wasn't even really leaking
grabbed some parts from the wrecker-clean fenders to shave, valve cover, mirror, speaker grille,
also new brake shoes, springs/hardware, magnetic clamp for the welder, sheet metal
cleaning up the wrecker valve cover with a quick spray can paint job
por15 a must have for all projects
polished with plasticx and repaint trim
swapped the fuel filter out and cut open the old one and it looks like its been on there since new
junkyard tail gate to replace the really beat up one it came with
made it swing, shaved and relocated handle but scrapped it and ordered a grant custom skin
shaved the badge and antenna holes
one of the few times i drove it before parking it to work on it for the winter
picked out all the seam filler on the bed and started welding the seam together
cleaned up the bay a little
chopped out the inner fenders and test fit some trailer fenders
this is when i realized i would have to cut and bent some new brake lines
because i still want the fenders up higher
I will also relocate the harness to the outside
where i do my work in the summer
a more recent shot of the fenders cleaned up more before it was parked for the winter
a real cool boat gas cap i got from a friend who didn't use it on a project
i plan on mounting it flush to the inside of the raised bed floor and connect
it to a fuel cell.
over at the 2 car heated garage I'm currently using to work on it
installing a billet grille on my friends Colorado that night
wobble light! even has cooling fans inside of it and you cant nock it over
this thing lights up a 2 car garage like crazy but id like to mount it inverted
hanging from the roof but the fan blows upward and the cooling ducts are at the top
vital tools
my Weber showed today so i pulled my factory carburetor and started cleaning up the passenger side bay
all that egr junk!
Weber on with harness/vac lines and egr junk gone
Grant Kustoms parts showed up today
these wont be installed til my box floor is raised
Viair 444c compressors showed up
